Same thing happened to my Alpha 250 skimmer. I purchased it from an American vendor and they were able to order in a replacement Red Dragon motor block from Germany for ~$250 US at the time which was several years ago.
It was cheaper and quicker for me to replace the pump with a Reef Octopus DC RODC 5500S pump which had very similar specs in terms of water/air draw and also came with the added bonus of being controllable.
